Utah Jazz @ L.A. Lakers - Dec 9 - 7:30 PM MST - Root Sports

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I guess it bears mentioning, this is a winnable game.

Pau Gasol and Steve Nash will not play for the Lakers - Jefferson and Favors are game time decisions - both practiced yesterday #UTAatLAL


Still waiting on Favors and Al.

Jazz couldn't do early warm-ups because the staples center had been used for a LA Clippers blow-out win over Toronto earlier today.

Kanter back to the bench, Al will start.

Quotes from Ty:
David Locke @Lockedonsports about 15 minutes ago
Tyrone Corbin on if ball movement is possible with Al Jefferson in the post "absolutely".

Bill Oram @tribjazz about 12 minutes ago
LA reporter asks Ty Corbin why Raja Bell isn’t with the team. “He’s not with the team,” he says.


Jody Genessy @DJJazzyJody about 11 minutes ago
Former Jazz center Jarron Collins is visiting his old team tonight at Staples Center.

That scared me for a minute, I thought maybe he came to play on a 10 contract with AL and Favours questionable.

So much awesome there. Lol!!

You simply hack the living hell out of Howard everytime he gets it down low. 47% from the line this year. Otherwise refs let him knock you over and you will be dunked on.

I agree, and I'll be angry if the Jazz don't adopt this strategy (unless he somehow starts hitting them tonight).

Will not happen (hitting them).

 

[UGLI baby]

Hack a Howard aint happenin neither.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Hack a Howard aint happenin neither.

Agreed .. almost said that too..

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Only hack Howard at end of quarters when already in the bonus. Don't let him get the Lakers into the bonus early in the quarter, or it's going to be a nightmare guarding Kobe.

 

[BYE]

From Locke:

Getting word that Derrick Favors is not going tonight - nothing official. #UTAatLAL

Excellent point. Nice.

I hope no NBA coach would start hacking him that early.

Biggest fear tonight is Foye guarding Kobe.

Haha! Definitely Foye's biggest fear as well

"You catch all that Corbin?"

Is Western Sports working this year? Anyone have a link?

 

[Jazz4ever]

Does Kanter love playing at Staples or what?

 

[Ellipse]

Kanter doing well. Millsap is having one of his better games of the year.

 

[BYE]

Kanter's destroying them with layups and O-rebounds!

Enes having his way inside!

Enes now having his way with the bench.

Typical. Playing we'll and off to the bench he goes.
